Just got a 95 750 with a small starter issue. No biggie, getting that taken care of. What I would like some input on is whether or not I can give this bike that cafe look without cutting the frame. So far I've settled on creating a fiberglass cowl and steel seat pan that just clips on to the...

As title states, what is the fork size on a 750k8? I plan on ordering a pair of clip on bars soon and I really don't have anything to measure the forks with. I found in the manual that says they are 39.5mm? If they are that size, do I get the 39mm size clip ons? Also, what places would you...

I just bought this (81) Wondering if there are older more vintage looking tanks that will fit with minimal fab. This ones rusted inside and needs replacing anyway

Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get my hands on side battery covers for my 1981 CB750? I've done some looking online and just haven't found what I'm looking for. Any help would be awesome! Thanks!

I recently picked up a 1979 CB750F, my goal is to make this a cafe style bike that I will use as a daily driver. Looking for good vendors for aftermarket and OEM parts. The bike is mechanically sound, front forks leak and master cylinder is bad. thanks for your help.

Help Where should I begin? I picked up this 82 CB750C as a canvas to build my first cafe racer. So far I have added cafe bars and removed some non-essential touring items. Besides rebuilding the front brake calipers and replacing the master cylinder. It is in great riding condition and of all...

Hi All, I ts pleasure to be here with starting project of CB 750 as cafe racer, Its been long time when I only dream of these thinks, and only rely on posters. I get this bike from a yard, and start to do some work, I have little resources, but this is best of my time, that I spend with it, Now...

I'm working on a 76 750f with stock wiring. The dash was removed and the eight or so wires going into the dash (for the bulbs) were cut. Bike now starts and runs as it should, but no working lights (head, tail, brake...bike has no turn signals or high beam switch). I need the simplest way to...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and recently got into tinkering with old hondas. I recently picked up a 79 cb750 in decent condition (runs well) and am looking to strip it down a bit and put a brat seatt (i think that's what they are called), put some smaller signals on, bar swap ne headlight...

Hello folks, I am new to the CB750s and have spent a lot of time looking at many different Café Racer builds. I have a few questions and was hoping some of you might have some advice to share. *Performance wise, which 70's CB750 is preferred for a Café Racer build and why? HP, handling, and...

Hi all, Just picked up this '73 that's been turned into a cafe. I haven't owned a bike in over ten years. This was my last Honda: Definitely a big difference between the 2. Unfortunately I fractured my elbow skateboarding, so I haven't been able to ride the cafe. Lots I'd like to do to it...

Hey everyone, I'm rather new to the motorcycle scene and am looking to build a cb 750 cafe. I have been doing a lot of reading on these bikes and the sohc vs dohc, and have been seeing most lean toward the sohc. My question is if rebuilt and the more problematic parts replaced, can the dohc be a...

Hey all just looking for a little help on my build I want to get new pods for my carbs but not sure what size? What's the difference between a 32mm and say a 38mm pod? I have stock carbs thanks in advance:confused:

Hi everyone, I appreciate your input in my purchase decision process. I posted yesterday regarding a couple of partially cafe converted CB's (72 and 77). I've just discovered a stock 79 CB750K. It has had one owner, who's clocked over 32k kilometers (approx 20k miles). It doesn't look nearly...

I'm away from my bike at the moment but would like to pick up some tube to bend my rear seat hoop. If i recall, my 78 cb has 1 1/8' OD. Can anyone confirm this? Does anyone know the ID on the frame? thanks

I picked up a 1978 cb750 the other night that runs rough, about to clean the carbs up and see what that does for her. Anyhow I noticed the clutch would not budge. I gave it a pretty ample amount of pressure to see if it would give and then the old cables snapped. What could have it seized up so...

So i found a bike that runs but needs a seat and tail light. He wants 350 for it. Its a 77 with 4 into 2 pipes and had pod filters. Im leaning towards a brat style, as this will be my everyday rider. I know these can be hard to get parts for, anyone have any advice?

Ok, so im new to all this and i see tons of bikes with empty triangles, where on earth do they put things and where do the put the oil tanks? some of these guys say they ride their bikes daily and then i hear others say that they relocate the oil tank to the gas tank and im not willing to do...

The previous owner of the 72 750Four had it re-wired in a very slipshod manner (example a stripped ground from the battery braided around a frame bolt, a toggle switch jury-rigged to an attached plate on the handlebars) and he had also dismantled much of it throwing it all in the boxes...

ii am in the process of purchasing a picked clean bare bones CB750 rolling frame with engine. i may build it up into a cool cafe or combine it with my current GS750.

Hi Folks, I'm new to the forum, been lurking for a few weeks while I cleaned a bay in my garage to make room to actually work on this project. Here is what I'm starting with, a 1973 with 7900 miles on it that hasn't been run since the early 1980's. The engine turns over. I haven't tried to...

So im doing as much research as i can before i buy my bike. I see f models pop up around here for 300-400 more than the standard k. Is it worth that extra in the beginning? Im going to put an after market ignition on it, new pipes, carbs(eventually), new shocks, new prog wound springs up front...

I've been wanting to start a thread about my K6 but have been putting it off until somebody asked me about it. I don't have all of my pictures since my last computer died so I'll have to start when I'm into the project a bit. Here's the story behind the bike. When I was 18 somebody I knew had...

latest progress.building a seat pan next

I used to have my tag below my brake light but I've bumped it with the tire a few times and I intend to lower the rear two inches so it's got to move. I couldn't find any online I was really happy with unless they were ridiculously expensive so I made my own from some scrap I had laying around...

So I'm looking into bikes and i see plenty of cb750's pop up. Most of which are DOHC models. I have mechanical experience and electrical work is a breeze(as much as it can be) for me. I am leaning towards a DOHC bike, partially because Im used to DOHC's and there more tune-able. Just looking for...

Hey everyone... Just joined because I decided to finally do something with my '80 cb750. Would really like to start over with a practically complete rebuild. I bought it 4 years ago and never rode it because it needed a little work. Between buying a house, moving, and buying a brand new bike I...

My pride and joy: 10 months and 1,000 beers later! Perfect ride!

I choose to build a bike that I bought looking like a bag of smashed a$$holes. Taking the time to learn about how to fix something simple or complex, knowing that the bike was built up to look the way I want it to look like not someone else's vision. A pride and passion not a lot of people...
